Loss

The death of child is too much for this mother's heart to comprehend.

Yesterday a 10 year old boy, a child well known and loved by my youngest son and youngest daughter, died from a brain tumor.

My children are grieving.

They ask me:

"Did Dae Hon suffer when he died?"

"Is his family ok?"

"Why did Dae Hon have to die?"

"Do you think Dae Hon is happy in heaven without his family?"

"Mom, why do I feel so guilty?"

I don't think it matters how old you are, or how many loved ones you've lost, or how much you've been able to prepare yourself, when death comes there are no answers, or explanations that can assauge the aching loss that beats in rhythm with a mourner's heart.

I don't have much more to say, except that we are sad today and that we are praying for Dae Hon's family.

This such an incredible loss for us all.
